Les liquidateurs oubliés et le débat sur le nucléaire civil en France, 40 ans après
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
France dedicated particularly rich coverage to the memorial and health dimensions. France Info gathered testimony from Mykola Gorbachenko, 71, one of the last surviving liquidators, who was working inside reactor 4 at the time of the explosion. He says he lives 'in poverty' as his pension has dwindled over the years. RFI questions the persistent uncertainties about Chernobyl's health consequences in France. France 24 and Le Monde broadcast reports from the exclusion zone, noting that humans continue to live there despite radiation and war. The debate over relaunching civilian nuclear power in France is directly fueled by the anniversary.
